Abstract

This study aims to enhance the capabilities of remote-controlled (RC) airships through the integration of advanced sensors and telemetry systems. The primary objective is to develop a custom sensor board and telemetry module that can significantly improve the airship's situational awareness and data collection abilities during flight operations. To accomplish this, a comprehensive research process was conducted to understand the existing market for sensors and telemetry systems in the field of RC airships. After careful consideration of various factors such as performance, compatibility, and data collection capabilities, a combination of sensors and microcontrollers was chosen. The custom sensor board consists of an accelerometer sensor and an altimeter sensor, which provide crucial data on the airship's acceleration, orientation, and altitude. These sensors enable the airship to gather real-time information about its flight dynamics and positioning in the airspace. The telemetry module is based on the ESP32 microcontroller, known for its reliable communication capabilities. It allows for remote access and control of the airship, as well as seamless transmission of sensor data to a ground station or control center. By implementing the proposed custom sensor board and telemetry system, RC airship operators and researchers will benefit from enhanced control, communication, and monitoring capabilities. This technology empowers operators to remotely access and control the airship, facilitating safer and more efficient flight operations. Additionally, the improved situational awareness and data collection capabilities enable researchers to gather valuable data for analysis, experimentation, and further advancements in the field of RC airships.
